GOMPERS CRITICISES
CONFERENCE REPORT
Head of Federation Prefers
Existing Machinery.
WORKERS MUST ORGANIZE
Ifiilepondcnt Shop Units Described
as Serious Menace to Employes
3 In All Industries.
jyVASIUXGTOX. March 20. (By the
-jociated Press.) Recommendations
1 resident Wilson's conference for
.ulement of the social unrest were"
ji;icked today by Samuel Gompers,
sident of the American Federation
- Labor. In a prepared statement,
said the machinery for adjusting
jjjputes between employers and em
tf'.ves, which "has for years been in
tstence in practically every orcan
i??'i industry in. 'the United States,
Ja- superior to the machinery now
f3?tod r-y the Industrial confer
ve both in point of simplicity and
iiT point of effectiveness."
" The conference," said Mr. Gompers,
"fcts devised a mass of machinery to
1$ made effective by law, composed
a national industrial board and
and reeional conferences and
ij.ird of inquiry. The whole situa
",en in this respect may be summed
113 as follows:
Machinery Already Kxlxtn.
Tried and tested machinery for
conference and arbitration between
ftdipioyers and employes exists wher
ever employes are organized.
v"Thi machinery functions perfectly
T3ierever emplo'ers forsake the spirit
irf dominance and the attitude of
;Uuocracy.
"Through use of this machinery it
been found possible to maintain
industrial peace with no stoppage of
irrirk of any kind for periods ranging
ft(m ten to 40 years. So machinery
1jvised by the government or its
ww ies or supervised by the gov
ijnment or any of its agencies, could
,i!;ve results superior to the re
jJitlts achieved by machinery that has
Irn'ir been in operation in our indus
tM il life.
In industries where the employes
fir- not organized, no machinery of
H&y kind, whether supervised by gov--fjimental
agencies or otherwise, can
jo'duce industrinl justice. Organiza--JS'n
of the workers is the fact upon
"t:ieh must be predicated the exist
oM a of any machinery for the settle
5rnt of disputes or the extension of
jwineiples of democracy in industry.
, -'Surely no intelligent agency can
vr,pe to achieve progress in Ameri
can industry without organization of
the workers. With organization of
workers, no structure of machinery
ijfed be thrust upon it from the out
ride,
w Kxperlenee Shorn of Theory.
."Organization brings with It ma
finery which is both adequate and
practical, the result of experience
sjorn of any of the fantasies of pure
Mieory.
T"Tliis report of the industrial con
ference' merits criticism of a very
serious nature itb connection with the
!nphasis it places on what it terms
Vnnploye representation.' under which
generic teri it groups those distinct
? local shop organizations known as
JIiop committees, shop councils, works
6uncils and representative govern
ment in industry. Jt is to feared
tjjat the commission views industry
t'im the viewpoint of the single shop
id builds its machinery on the
fjeory that disputes are to be settled t
riop Dy simp, ic sucn a view pojiii is
Ci be actually carried into operation
ft will be most disastrous.
r "Unavoidable organization with in
dependent shop units of the employes
r a menace to the workers for the
Qason that it organizes them away
fjom each other and puts them in a
Msitio where shop may be played
jfgainst shop. Not only the welfare of
tno workers, but the best economy for
3ie nation demands that industry in
ff'far as possible be viewed in a na
S.inal liprht and that the workers be
CJiited into organizations covering
whole industries as is new the case
?ith the 1-0 national and interna
tional trade unions."
um "There can be no objection to the
gjosen relations of a co-operative na
rre between emrloye and employer
Zii tht shop, but these relations must
ffever take on such a form an to sepa
jte the workers in that shop from
Jhe rest of their fellow workers in
the industry.
JJ ot Snhtitnle for 1 nloos.
"It seems to be the conviction of
the commission that theso so-called
Jiop organizations are a kind ot snb
iitute for unions That ctrla,inly is
Jbe idea which prevails in the mind
n" a number of employers and it is
JLte idea which they would give n.uch
Trrseo made operative in a wider field.
V. ""The report of the commission
join's out that "a number of trade
.tiion lea lers regard shop ifpresenta
Jtion as a sub:l weapon directed
tipainst the union,' but concludes thai
Jt ccasional rnisuse of employe repre
sentation nnd the consequent hesi
'tc'icy of organized labor to indorse it
Officially are based on a misconcep
If.cn of the possible anil desirable re
action between the union and the
Jshop ron mittee.'
"This is not the case. The trade
hinion. as a whole, is opposed to what
"tare known as 'shop committees' and
shop organizations,' because they are
-fundmentaliy wronn in principle and
Iberause they in no sense serve the
Jreal interests of the workers, but
readily lend themselves to the designs
(of employers hostile to trade union
ism and are. in fact, almost without
'exception creatures of employers.
! "The commission speaks as though
employe representation were some
thing apart from the trade union or
ganization and found no place in the
labor movement. The fact is trade
unions afford to the workers the only
bona fide and effective system of rep
Jresentation known In 'American in
"tustry. Through the trade union
movement the employes get actual
J representation free from any influ
ence of any kind, except the influ
ence of their own Judgment and needs.
Furthermore, trade union organiza
tion includes organizations within the
shop and offers the fullest opportu
nity for co-operative relations be
Jtween the workers In the shop and
'Jthe employers.
Production Greatest In America.
"The report of the conference says
Jthat the 'nation has a right to ask
that employes impose no arbitrary
limitation of effort in the prosecu
tion of their work.' Did the confer
ence forget that production in Amer
ican Industry is greater pw man and
'in the aggregate than production in
any other country in the world?
; The tsade union movement of
America is perhaps the only great
'and powerful labor movement in the
Jvtorld which 'does not sanction re-
striction of output by the workers. It
realizes that restriction is as in
jurious to the moral fiber of the in
dividual workman as it is to the
I larger economy of industry.
v "American labor understands,
haps more fully than American
statesmen, the needs of the world in
this hour and it is exerting: every ef
fort to see that those needs are met
with intelligence and with prompt
ness. "Labor, if It be permlted. dan, out of
its Intimate knowledge of Industry,
supply much of the Intelligence that
will guide to a conduct of industry
out of which will come that Increased
production which is so greatly to be
desired, but which has thus far called
forth so little real effort from the
emplpyers. ;
"The fact of the whole matter is
that the president's commission, even
though' prompted by the best of mo
tives, had neither experience nor un
derstanding of the history, the meth
ods and the purposes of the organ
ized labor movement, and H followed
in the wake of others whose only
purpose had been to get away from
trade union . influence and and con
structive work."

to $1,574,787. From this was later
deducted $1287. representing refunds
due to duplications and minor errors.

Jl.r.73,500 there was then deducted
$47,305.37, representing the adminis

The remaining net receipts, totaling
$1,526,134.83 were then, divided on the
basis of 25 per cent to the counties
and 75 per cent to the state highway
fund.

Six Per Cent Limitation Held Suf
ficient and Committee Author
ized to Evoke Injunctions.
SALEM, Or., March 20. (Special.)
More than 200 members of the Marion
County Taxpayers' league assembled
here today and went on record op
posed to all millage tax measures
scheduled to go before the voters of
Oregon at the special election in May.
Ihe resolution opposing the proposed
taxes .was signed by Senator. Alex
LaFollette, Representative George
Weeks, S. A. Rlggs, E. M. Croison and
Colonel E. Hofer.
E. F. Carleton, assistant state su
perintendent of schools, defended the
proposed levies for educational pur
poses, and informed the members of
the league that more than' 250 school
rooms in Oregon were tlcsed at the
present time because of a shortage of
teachers. To remedy this situation he
said it would be necessary to increase
the salaries of Instructors, which
would mean a slight advance in taxes.
Ben West, county assessor, at
tacked what he termed a tendency on
the part of officials to make assess
ments on Inflated valuations. Mr.
West blamed the present high taxes
throughout the state to the activities
of the state tax commission. 1 -
A committee was appointed to make
formal protest against any tax levied
by the county court in excess of the
6 per cent limitation If necessary to
sustain their point. The committee is
authorized to bring injunction pro
ceedings against the county court.
This committee is composed of Ed
ward Jory. Peter Darcy and Senator
Alex La Follette.
The levy made recently by the
county court now exceeds the 6 per
cent limitation by $48,000. and it is
believed that the validity of this ac
tion will be taken into the courts for
final determination.

O. Wortman Airs Views After
Extensive Industrial Trip
Through East.
"Th6 administration at Washing
ton is camouflaging in the pretense
of lower prices on manufactured
goods. The outlook is for higher
prices for some time to come and eo
far as I have been able to judge, after
spending three months in touch with
commercial affairs, manutacturers
and wholesalers, return to low prices
is a long way off."
This is the oplninji that H. C. Wort
man expressed after one of his semi
annual trips to the eastern manu
facturing and market centers. He
spent most -of his time in New York.
The trip im-luded visits to some of
the manufacturing centers. Philadel
phia and Chicago, and. through buy
era of Olds, Wortman & King, he
was closely in touch with all of the
industries in the textile, apparel and
leather trades.
"General industrial conditions seem
to be in an unsatisfactory condition,"
said llr. Wortman, "and manufactur
ers generally find It Impossible to
keep production ebove SO per cent of
their plant capacity. They find it
difficult to keep labor. That means
there is no prospect of lower priceB
soon, for at present the production
is not nearly equal to demand for
goods. In fact, there is promise of
still higher prices in the near future
notwithstanding the extravagant and
unfounded claims of some of the ad
ministration officials at Washington.
"Foreign labor, especially that of
the south of Kitrope, has been leav
ing our shores at rapid rate. At the
present time there are more than
1.000.000 applications for passports
lodged with the department at Wash
ington. From this fact everyone can
draw their own conclusions as to the
effect it will have on labor con
ditions and the prices of. merchan
dise. There is little or no prospect
of other labor, coming to take its
place. v - - '
"There is decreased production due
to reduced working hours in. manu
facturing plants. Not so many years
ago raw material represented two
thirds of the cost of goods in many
lines of textiles, whereas today it
amounts to less than one-third of
the cost of the finished material and
labor represents two-thirds."

"All these in combination make for
true Americanism."
Senator Poindexter. as an independ
ent candidate in South Dakota for the
republican presidential indorsement
at the state primary on Tuesday,
dweluupon labor issues and problems
in opening his debate here tonight
with General Wood.
Senator Poindexter said in part:
"The two most vital questions now
before the country are national inde
pendence and industrial independence.
One is menaced by internationalism
and the other by the closed shop.
"Internationalism proposes that the
control of all international affairs
shall be vested in a league of nations.
It would substitute the principle .of
Internationalism for the principle of
nationality. The war was fought to
preserve the principle of internation
allty, and the kaiser proposed to es
tablish a centralized government for
the whole world.
Surrender Called Treason.
"Having won the war, the president
would surrender that for which it
was fought and establish that for
which the kaiser fought. We went
into the war in seif -defense, for the
protection of American rights. Hav
ing won the war. it is treason to the
American people to surrender the
very rights which it was waged to
protect.
"The closed shop means closed op
portunity. It means personal and in
dustrial servitude both for labor and
capital and for the public. The right
to work and the right to own prop
erty are among the inalienable rights
of man and are so designated in all
the great charters of liberty. No
government can. endure which does
not guard and protect these rights.
"Strikes, intended to enforce eco
nomic demands by stopping industry
and cutting off from the people their
supplies of necessities of life mean
rule by force instead of by law.
RifCit to Quit Recognized.
"Men have a right to quit work,
singly or collectively, but they have
not the right to conspire to starve
the people. The government must act
to punish attacks. Economic inde
pendence can only exist when a man
is free to work or to quit whether
he belongs to a union or not.
"The crying need of the hour is to
Americanize the American govern
ment. "Little attention has been paid re
cently by " the chief executive to
American needs, to land reclamation,
to land settlement for s61diers, to a
nations system of wagon roads, to
the weeding out of extravagance and
Inefficiency in the executive depart
ments. These things should have at-
